365.0. "In the spring a young man's fancy ..." by IOSG::DEMORGAN () Mon Jun 15 1987 07:50

The following is a computer-written sonnet.
It was produced by a computer at Cambridge
University, England several years ago.

		Richard De Morgan.

-------------------------------------------

How can the purple yeti be so red,
Or chestnuts, like a widgeon, calmly groan?
No sheep is quite as crooked as a bed,
Though chickens ever try to hide a bone.

I grieve that greasy turnips slowly march:
Indeed, inflated is the icy pig:
For as the alligator strikes the larch,
So sighs the grazing goldfish for a wig.

Oh, has the pilchard argued with a top?
Say never that the parsnip is too weird!
I tell thee that a wolf-man will not hop
And no man ever praised the convex beard.

Effulgent is the day when bishops turn:
So let not then the doctor wake the urn!

    So!  The computer's been reading H. P. Lovecraft's _The Case of
    Charles Dexter Ward_ again, eh???

re: .0  Well, I guess we don't really have to worry about artificial
	intellegence taking over our jobs just yet, eh?  :-)
